Cisco C9200L-48T-4X-A — Catalyst 9200L 48-Port Data Switch with 4× 10G SFP+ Uplinks and Network Advantage
What it is
C9200L-48T-4X-A is a Cisco Catalyst 9200L Series enterprise access switch designed for branch offices, campus edge networks, schools, retail locations, and general business environments that need 48 Gigabit Ethernet data ports plus fast 10 Gigabit uplinks.
It provides 48 × 10/100/1000Base-T RJ-45 access ports and 4 × fixed 10 Gigabit SFP+ uplinks. The “-A” version includes the Network Advantage software tier.
Why buyers pick C9200L-48T-4X-A (plain English)
48 standard Gigabit ports: A strong fit for desktops, printers, servers, and other wired devices that do not require PoE.
10G uplinks built in: Four SFP+ uplinks provide substantially more backbone capacity than 1G uplinks, which helps avoid bottlenecks when many access ports are active.
Network Advantage licensing: Gives you a broader routing and enterprise feature set than Network Essentials.
Cisco IOS XE platform: Provides familiar Catalyst management, security, automation, telemetry, VLAN, QoS, and Layer 3 capabilities.
Stackable design: Catalyst 9200L switches support StackWise-80, allowing multiple switches to operate as one logical system.
